Hope Springs Eternal (The Colorado Rockies)

When I was a kid I could not wait to get my annual Athlonâ€™s Baseball Guide or my Street and Smithâ€™s magazine. I would consume every word of those publications and dream about the upcoming season. I remember sitting in Mrs. Williams 7th grade class with my notebook open making predictions for every team. Yep, I went full geek squad on these with complete opening day roster predictions and what each player would do.

Times have changed and the web makes it so much easier to find all of this infoâ€¦.But, I still find that, for me, I need to visually see each player and write them down to get the baseball memory the workout it needs for the upcoming season. Now, I thought I would finally share my work with you.

Stats wise this is just a fun experimentâ€¦.so, I am not using some sort of calculation for these numbers. Just a little look inside the 7th grade Greg Schaumâ€™s mind sitting in Mrs. Williams class with bubble gum card stats.
